From Brazilian to Afrobeat, Disco to Reggae, Cumbia to Dub, Miami Bass to House, Latin to Techno, Sabo is known to be locked into each style as if it were the only thing he's been spinning for the past 13 years, and he flows seamlessly from one genre to the next. He's been a special guest at Turntables on the Hudson parties for the last 9 years, was Manager at the Turntable Lab NY store for 4 years, an instructor at the Scratch DJ Academy, and has dj residencies at Bembe, Standard Hotel, and Nublu in NYC.
